how does ethernet switch work

How does an Ethernet switch decide where to send which packet. Does it maintain a dynamic list of which MAC addresses are present on which port. If that is true then what happens when the switch boots up or an hardware is changed.

Is there is simple FAQ avaialable somewhere.
